EVIC "Easter Egg" Instructions, Screens and Meanings

[fadertoo]

Access it - it flashes READY when you've come to a complete stop - use your best launch technique and keep in it 'til you've passed 60 mph. The display will show your time.

I tried this on my 2008 300C SRT8 EVIC and it does not seem to work. Can someone else with a 2008 EVIC check theirs please? Regards, Bob.

I checked it couple weeks back. It did not work.

I understand there are at least 2 versions of EVIC software on 2008s.

The digital speedo feature never worked on my 2008 or at least I've yet to figure out how to get it to work.

Certainly looks like the software has been updated since I got my car with the significant change being the "Fuel Miser" thing added.

There's also an interesting bug on the 0-60 timer that I discovered a couple of months ago, well, its either a bug or I did 0-60 in less than 1 second because my "Best Time" now shows 0.64 seconds.

Maybe I should name my 300C "Tardis"

The large digital speedo doesn't work in my '08 either. One of the other screens show digital readouts of both rpm's & speed. It's grouped with the ones that show oil pres/temp, water temp, pedal pos.(%), etc.

There is indeed a familial resemblance.
